4 BAD ACCIDENT.

4 Young Man Very Seriously Injured on
the Motor Line Last Evening.
About seven O'Clock last evening a very
serious accident occurred on the Elm
Grove motor line, on McCulloch street,
which in all probability will cost the vic
tim one of his legs. Henry Bowers, a
young man, a stranger in the city, was the
unfortunate. The train, an outgoing one,
was in charge of Conductor VIM. Michael,
with II. Hink as engineer. As the engine
drew near the Peninsular Cemetery cross
ing, on q heavy down grade, he saw two
men in front Of him, walking on the track.
Hink made every endeavor to check up
bis train, and did succeed in stopping it
within a distance c thirty or forty feet, but
this was not acct a. plished until one Of the
men had been hit and run over, he being
taken ont from between the trucks Of the
two cars, comprising the train. Bowers
was thrown to the ground in such q man
ner that the wheels Of the car passed over
his right leg, crushing it in a horrible
manner. The mar was taken to his room
at Mrs. Meyers boarding house, on Six
tenth street, where lrs. Aekerman and
Billiard were called. They found the
limb fractured in two places-st the ankle
Joint and at the thigh-and from the for
mer fracture several pieces OF bone were
removed. The physicians are dubious
about their ability to save the leg, how
ever, and it may have to be smputated at
the hip joint.

A Meeting Of Glass Manufacturers on Saturday-A
Strike Ayersd-RailrOad Meeting and
Other Matters.

The Ohio Valley Trades Assembly met
in regular session at Bellaire, yesterday,
and transacted q good deal Of business.
There was q good attendance at the meet
ing, and one matter discussed, which was
important 10 only those concerned, oeeu-
pied some little time, and was acted upon
fayOrably.
A committee of three gentlemen from
Pittsburg were present at the meeting, and
were introduced to the Assembly. Their
object was to solicit funds to help along
the strikers at the Black Diamond Steel
Works at Pittsburg, Of whom there are
something over o thousand. 1t is under

solicited with 3 good deal of success The

$50 or SIS to help the men along in their
fight.
The workmen employed in the building
trades in the city and vicinity will hold
another meeting Thursday evening at

soon as il is fairly started under way.
Quite u good deal of routine bueiness was
also transacted at the meeting, which is

The a.. p. Congregation Siugs Praises Led
by an Organ.
The congregation Of the United Presby-
terrain church experienced something new
yesterday in It's services. Heretofore no
instrumental music has ever been heard
within its walls in connection with reli-
gious worship, and the sensation to many
Yesterday was quite novel to say the least.
A fine organ, the ''ConnioeSeer," was
placed in the church last week, in accord
anoe with the decision of the Board
OF Trustees meeting some days
since. The congregation, anticipating
such 4 move had set aside a certain
fund for the purchase of an organ, aud lm-
mediatsly upOn the decision of the Trus-
tees the organ WGs ~pnEchased from Mr.. +.
W. Banner and placed ia the church.
While it is quite an unpretentiOus look.
ing instrument, it possesses wonderful
power and quality of tone, and wlthal Is
an excellent instrument.
While the movement to put music in
the church was opposed by some, the
great majority Of the congregation
was in favor OF il. Those who objected TO
the music, il Is understood, did so partly
because it did away 18th n OF the dis
tiuctiye features of the United Presbyter-
ian Church, and one for which it has been
especially noted, but mainly because they
think it is wrong to have instrumental
music figure in religious worship
on Sunday. But even these, along
with those who were in favor of it, were
highly pleased with the music yesterday,
and the choir, which Is an eHesllept one,
has already taken a greater interest in their
work.

detectives to hay this whole thing Lare and
uncover these m~enacing murderers should
be promptly offered.
Nicholas FlemmiDg, the veteran hunter,
of Nicholas county, has killed nine bears
thus far this season, but the last one came
very near finishing him. He was following
a trail with his dogs when he suddenly
came face to face with a remarkably large
bear. The hunter hadn't time to level
his gun before the bear was upon him. de
gave Fleming a blow with n of his paws
which knocked him fat, and before he
could get upon his feet or draw his hunt
ing knife the bear was industriously chew
ing his right leg, while his forepaws, armed
with claws three inches long, were tearing
his clothing into strips. Fleming turned
over in his endeavor to get upon his feet or
away from the bear, when the animal
caught him between the shoulders with his
claws and stripped the clothing from bis
collar to his waist, leaving half a dozen
rips down his back half al inch or more
deep, from his collar bone to his hip. For
tunately for Fleming, his faithful dogs ar
rived upon the scene by this time and dis
tracted the bears attention long enough
for Fleming to crawl to his gun, level ii
behind the bears shoulders and shoot him
through the heart. The bear weighed $50
pounds.

MeCOSH'S~ SUCCESSOR
At the Head Of P~rinceton-Two Candi-

At the Head OF Princeton Two Cahul'
dates Mentioned.
NEW YORK, November IL The Time
states that the choice of successor TO DR.,
McCosh, of Princeton, lies between the
Rev. DIR. Patton, of Princeton Theological
Seminary, and Prof. Sloane, of the Uni
versity. One OF the Alumni Of Princeton
University said yesterday: "Dr. Patton,
perhaps, is the most learned man. He il
prominently a church man. He will be
best remembered as the man responsible
for the churching of Prof. David Swing, Of
Chicago, who was deposed from the Presby'
terrain ministry and the passionate of st.
James Presbyterian Church at the
end of a trial for heresy. DR.,
Patton's ardent and able champion
ship of c~alvinistic dogmas involved
in that ecclesiastical trial gained him q
national reputation, and established his
position as the ablest clergyman OF his de-
nomination in America. The lay candi-
date is in every way qualified to fill the
Office. Prof. Sloane thoroughly under
stands the educational systems of all the
leading nations and is well grounded in
the requirements of a great university III
these advanced times. If the preference oI
the alumni were given weight in this mat
ter | feel confident that they would be ac-
corded to the layman, Prot. Sloane.

Poisoned Fish.

A large number of dead fish, principally
bass, have been noticed in the creek the
past day or so, between Fulton and the
tunnel bridge. The cause of this is sup,
posed to be poisonous water, made so by
the offal and decayed matter dumped into
the creek ut Fulton. The people out that
way complain of the stencil arising from
the creek, and is said to be exceedingly un-
healthy. Thousands of dollars are spent
to stock our streams with fish, and to see
them killed off in such a wholesale manner
is an outrage, and should be remedied. To
people who have been gathering these pois,
oned fish up the warning is given that il
they want to live longer they had best not
eat them. This unhealthy condition of the
creek should ne remedied at once.
